Sam Chapman

Liberal Democrats councillor for Bassett

Council: Southampton

Term ends: 2 May 2030

Liberal Democrats

Hi, I'm Sam. I was educated in local schools and at Southampton University and currently work as a healthcare manager. Both nationally and locally our politics is broken. Residents in Coxford have been let down by the council. Residents finally want to see some local investment to catch up with the rest of our thriving city. I want to see public transport provide a real alternative to parking on our resident's streets, proper management of weekend traffic to the Sports Centre, and investment bought in to improve shopping facilities in Lordshill. As someone that has always lived in Southampton, should I be elected I will fight hard on behalf of the residents to deliver real change.
